Basically, is 10mins every day going to change my body significantly over the next few months, or should I be doing 30-40mins, say, 3 times a week..?!?!

Cheers
If boredom is the issue then do Tabatas on the Rower - 20secs all out work, 10secs rest/pulsing.

Start at 4mins, work your way upto 10 or 12 mins.

You still need to sort your diet out though - this is assuming you wish to loose fat...
